Morning Reading: Proverbs 15:9 (NLT)

The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue godliness.

Morning Reading: Romans 8:35 & 37 (NLT)

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
_____

No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

Prayer

Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, for he promised to be with us until the end of time. With confidence in his promise I pray –

+ Stay with me, Lord Jesus: In all things I am victorious through your love; take me into your care today.
+ Stay with me, Lord Jesus: Let the love of your Holy Spirit be in my heart; I consecrate this day to you.
+ Stay with me, Lord Jesus: Help me to answer your call to be salt to the earth and light to the world.
+ Stay with me, Lord Jesus: Use all I do and say to further your good purposes for me and for those around me.

Shed your clear light on my heart, Lord, so that in my pursuit of godliness I may never be deceived or misled. Through my Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

“Victory in Jesus” – – Selah

Blessing

Christ with me, Christ in me.

Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left; Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down; Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me; Christ in the eye that sees me, Christ in the ear that hears me.

Christ with me, Christ in me.

+ In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen!
